I wrote this a og time ago after my kids drove me nuts with the Dr. Suess book "The Cat in the Hat". I guess it was my twisted way of letting off some steam LOL
Of the Cat in the Hat?
Well I'll tell you, there's no good
when a cat's got a hat.
The evil old cat
came to my door one cold and wet day
And despite my despair
He would not go away.
Even when I slugged him
in his tooth with my fist,
he sailed right on in,
and said "That's not nice.", with a lisp.
He dragged in his box,
with Thing One and Thing Two.
I knew not what to say,
But I knew what to do.
I reached to the closet,
and grabbed up my bat.
Then I swung really hard,
at the Cat in the Hat.
I hit him once in the arm,
and then in the foot.
I screamed that I hated
his stupid old book.
Thing One and Thing Two
had just gotten out,
as the cat held his arm,
and sat with a pout.
They tore up my house,
and said it was fun.
That was until,
They noticed my gun.
They both started screaming
then they started to run,
I fired both barrels shouting,
"NOW THIS IS FUN!!"
They ducked and the dogged,
and they both tried to scatter.
But it didn't take long
till Thing One was a splatter.
My gun got a jam
but I still had my bat
So I chased down Thing Two
and hit him, KER-SPLAT!
Well that Cat in Hat
was really quited pissed,
when I came after him
and I swung...and I missed!
He snatched up my bat
and said "How do you do!"
"I'll get you back,
for Thing One and Thing Two!"
I ran and I screamed
and I dodged out the back,
and grabbed from a stump
my trusty old axe.
I hid 'round the corner
and when he ran by,
I chopped that old cat,
quite hard, in the thigh.
He tripped and he sumbled,
and he fell to the ground.
So I pulled up my axe,
and brought it around.
It came down hard,
and It came down fast
I had stoped his stupid rhyming,
finally, AT LAST!
I dug a big hole,
six feet in the ground.
Where a headless cat sleeps,
forever quite sound.
My kids are now grown,
I'm done with that book.
When grandkids come by
I show them the hat on the hook
Then I tell them about
that nasty old cat,
and what really happened
to the Cat in the Hat
